Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 1, 1919.

Application filed November 11, 1915. Serial No. 60312.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, DORsAY MCCAL'L WHITE, a loyal subject of the King of England, and resident of Detroit, Wayne county, State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hydrocarbon-Motors, of which the following is a specification. v

This invention relates to hydrocarbon motors, and particularly to motors of the socalled V type.

One of the objects of this invention is'an improved arrangement and disposition of the various elements and shafts of the motor, and the devices or accessories usually a part of the motor and driven thereby.

Another object of this invention is an improved location of the various accessories of the motor. I Another ob ect is to provlde an arrangement of the accessory drive mechanisms which may be easily assembled and dis-assembled, and is comparatively inexpensive to manufacture.

@ther objects will appear from the following description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification, and n which:

plant of a- V type motor, embodying this invention, showing pa-rtsbroken away for clearness;

Fig. 2 is aplan view of a similar motor showing parts broken away; v

Fig. 3 is a side elevation, with parts broken away, of the motor, shown in Figs. 1 and 2, with the cylinders removed;

Fig. 4 is a rear elevation, showing parts broken away;

Fig. 5 is a transverse sectional View sub stantially on the line 5-5 of Fig. 3, showing the driving mechanism for the electri cal devices; and

Fig. 6 is a section-through the over running clutch, adapted to connect the electrical starting motor shaft with the fly wheel.

Referring to the drawings, 10 represents the crank case or motor base, on which are suitably mounted in V relation, as by bolts 11, a pluralitv of cylinder blocks 11. The usual pistons 12, connecting rods 13 and valve mechanisms 14 are also provided. It will be understood that the connecting rods 13 of opposite cylinders, are connected at may be secured a plurality of gears cured adjacent the front end thereof, as by type, provided, with, Figure 1 is a front elevation of a power their respective lower ends to a single crank, one of the rods having a, forked portion, as shown at 14 and the other rod having the usual straight end. These connecting rods to a crank shaft through the well known detachable caps and bolts, illustrated at 14".

Arranged in bearin s 15, as by detachable caps 15. and bolts 15 in the crank case 10 1s a crank shaft 16, which is provided with 17 and 18 suitably sebolt 17, and a fly wheel 19 may be secured to the rear end thereof, as byfbolts 20.

Mounted in bearings 21 in the crank case 10, and arranged transversely to the crank shaft 16 is a shaft 22, providedwith a gear 23 secured thereto intermediate its ends and adapted to be driven from the crank shaft by means of the spiral gear 17 arranged thereon. A bearing24 tween theinnen'fac of l fi 'f he, t ansversely .a d shaft22r i4 v plurality of @l vic slfin may be provided be? the form Pi ot oneofthe bearings;- I arena thejgear" a totake ,the lateral drive,

shown, from the opposite ends of the shaft 22.

It will be understood that each of theits respective sup-j pumps is adapted to draw ply either from a port 26', which may be connected with tor, not shown, or from a bypass 27, adapted to be connected to a conduit, not shown, leading from the outlet 28 from the water The water may be discharged from the pumps into the conduits 30 and then to the intakes 31 of the respective jackets 29.

A third shaft 32 is arranged parallel to the crank shaft 10, and shaft is mounted in suitable bearings 33, as shown, in the crank case and is provided with a gear 34, suitably secured thereto, as by a pin 34, and adapted to be driven from the crank shaft 16 through 23 on the transversely arranged shaft 22.

A device, in the form of an oil pump '35,

the lower portion of, a radiajacket 29 of one of the cylinder blocks 11.

below it. This the gear of the well known gear type, may be mounted on the, cover plate as by bolts 36, and may have a direct connection for driving it from the shaft 32, as illustrated. It will be understood that the plate 35 is adapted to cover the various driving mechanisms arranged adjacent the front end of the motor, and may be'secured in position, as by the bolts 35".

Another, or fourth shaft 37 is arranged above the crank shaft 16 and parallel therewith, in suitable bearings 37', mounted in the crank case 10. The shaft 37 and its bearings 37' may be secured in position by means of a pin 37". It is also provided intermediate its ends with a plurality of gears 38 and 39 secured thereto, as by bolts 40 and 41, the gear 39 having a 2 to 1 ratio driving connection, as by chain 40', with the gear 18 on the crank shaft. Devices, in the form of valve operating cams 42 for driving the valve mechanisms 14 are arranged on one side of the gears 38 and 39, and a device, in the form of a pump 43, of the reciprocating type, may have a direct driving connection with the shaft 37, as by the pin 44, formed on thebolt 41. The pump 43, it will be seen, is suitably mounted in the cover plate 35 and may supply air pressure to various parts of the motor, where needed, as to the fuel tank, not shown.

A fifth two-part shaft 45, whichis parallel with the cam shaft 37, is arranged above the crank shaft 16, between the cylinder blocks 11. This shaft is mounted in bearings 46 and 47 of the anti-friction type,

, which maybe secured in position, as by the caps 47, arranged in the upper part of a' detachable portion 48 of the crank case.

The shaft 45 is provided with a gear 49, secured intermediate its ends, as by a key 49', and may be driven as by chain 50, from the shaft 37. It will thus be seen that four parallel shafts are provided, which are connected together and arranged in the same vertical plane; of course it will be understood that they are not necessarily so arranged. I

A device, such as a fan 51, may be connected in any well known manner to said shaft 45 at one side of the gear connection 49, and another device, in the form of a tire pump 52 may be driven from shaft'45 by means of a gear connection 53, arranged.

on the opposite side of the gear 49.

An electrical device, such as a motor generator 54, may be mounted on the cover plate 55, which is secured to the crank case, as by bolts 56, and secured to the plate as by bolts 57. This electrical device is provided with an armature 58, arranged on the part 59 of the shaft 45 and adapted to be driven from the crank shaft 16 through either of two sets of gear connections, each having different ratios and arranged at opposite ends of 1,aos,eee

the motor, as will now be more clearly described.

The part 60 of the shaft 45, it will be noted, is constantly connected as by the key 60, with the front end of the crank shaft through the gears 18, 39, 38 and 49, and the part 60 is also adapted to be intermittently connected with the part 59 by means of an automatic over-running ball or roller clutch 61 of any well known form. Secured on one end of the part 59, as by bolt 59', is a gear 62, which is adapted to drive the gear 63 formed on the fly wheel 19, by means of the gears 64 and 65, which may be connected together, as desired, through an automatic over-running clutch 65, such as of the well known ball or roller type. These gears 64 and 65 are slidingly mounted on the Shaft 66 and adapted to be brought into driving connection with the gears 62 and 63, such as by the shifter fork 67 and crank 68, which are arranged on the shaft 68, which is mounted in the cover 68", arranged on the crank case 10.

It will be understood that when the electrical motor 54 is in operation and is connected through the gears 64 and 65 with the gear 63 on the fly wheel 1 it is adapted to turn over the motor for starting purposes.

Under such conditions, as the result of the lower gear connection between the part 59 and the rear end of the crank shaft, than between the part 60and the front end of the crank shaft, the part 59 overruns the part 60 of the shaft 45 and is disconnected therefrom by means of the automatic overrunning clutch 61. When the motor is running under its own power and the current is cut olf from the electrical starting motor 54, if the gears 64 and 65 are slid out of mesh with the gears 62 and 63, the part 59 of shaft 45, of course slows down relatively to the part 60 of this shaft, and the armature 58 is then driven by the part 60 of this shaft. through the clutch 61. The over-running clutch .65 is provided so that when the electrical machine 54 slows down relative to the fly wheel 19, while the gears 64 and 65- are in mesh with the gears 62 and 63, it permits an automatic disengagement of the connection between the two gears 64 and 65. Thus it willbe seen an automatic clutch connection is provided between the drive from either end of the crank shaft 16 and the shaft 45.

A timer 69 is suitably mounted on the motor generator 54. It is provided with a shaft 70, arranged transversely to the cam shaft 37, and adapted to be driven therefrom, by means such as a spiral gear 71, arranged on said transversely arranged shaft 70. through the gear 72, on the part 60 of the shaft 45, which as is well understood, is connected to the cam shaft 37 by meansof the gear 38, chain 50 and the gear 49.
